runClient not working on Macbook with M1 chip

Hello, I am a complete beginner to modding. I followed all the instructions in the Forge Documentation for setting up the IntelliJ workspace using the MDK for 1.16.5 - 36.2.0. This is the error I'm getting:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /private/var/folders/2m/_5_5c1392nd5r_by2ks2jmzc0000gn/T/lwjgl<username>/3.2.1-build-12/liblwjgl.dylib: dlopen(/private/var/folders/2m/_5_5c1392nd5r_by2ks2jmzc0000gn/T/lwjgl<username>/3.2.1-build-12/liblwjgl.dylib, 1): no suitable image found.  Did find:

It seems that it's a problem with the LWJGL native files it's trying to use. I was able to find a workaround on another forum post for fixing the problem for a MultiMC instance by using a custom LWJGL version or whatever, but don't know how to translate this to the MDK so that I can use runClient to test my mod from within IntelliJ. Any ideas?
